Failure to Follow Quickie Election Rule Dooms Employer to Second Election

As most readers know, the National Labor Relations Board's new quickie election rules impose information disclosure obligations on employers during the election period. One is that within two days of the direction of election (absent extraordinary circumstances), the employer will provide a final list of eligible voters to the union, including phone numbers and e‐mail addresses when available. A recent case shows the consequences of an employer's failure to comply fully with this rule ( Danbury Hospital , No. 01‐RC‐153086).
